Plug-in vehicles (BEV + PHEV) sales: Top 15 by brand

- Now that there is enough electrified vehicles sales historic, we are able to analyse the evolution of plug-in vehicles (BEV + PHEV), sales by brand. Inovev has compiled the figures of the top 15 leading brands in this category of vehicles which is becoming increasingly popular in the global market. Inovev took the year 2015 as the basis for the calculations. What do we see?

- The American brand Tesla managed to outrun all its rival brands after the launch of the Model 3. In 2020, Tesla sold nearly 500,000 electric cars worldwide. The Chinese brand BYD, leader in this electric market before 2018, has not grown since 2019 and is even declining in 2020, due to strong competition (notably Tesla). Volkswagen became in 2020, the second leading brand in the BEV+PHEV market, thanks to the success of its ID3 and ID4. It only represents half of Tesla's sales in 2020, but the many future launches planned by the German brand should allow VW to close the gap with Tesla. The GM-Wuling brand is benefiting from the success of its recent small city car HongGuang. The Premium BMW and Mercedes brands are benefiting from the generalization of PHEV engines on their models, overtaking Renault, which held the third place in this market between 2016 and 2018 (this brand is seventh in 2020).

- In the first 4 months of 2021, GM-Wuling takes the second place while BYD falls to fifth place. Renault suffered a sharp fall, dropping from seventh to thirteenth place in 2021. Even the Peugeot brand passed Renault in 2021, thanks to its e-208, e-2008, 3008 PHEV and 508 PHEV. BMW and Mercedes maintain their positions. Nissan has disappeared from the top 15.

Fiat Tipo replacement will be based on the EMP2 platform

- While the Fiat Panda will be replaced in the coming months by a sedan which will remind the design of the Centoventi concept (2019) and which will move from segment A to segment B, therefore succeeding both to the Panda and the Punto, the Fiat Tipo will be replaced by a C-segment sedan but this time based on the EMP2 platform. Indeed, the replacement of Panda and Punto was studied before the merger between PSA and FCA, while the replacement of Tipo had only been at the beginning of the project.

- After the merger in January 2021 and the creation of the Stellantis group, we saw the appearance of the new generation of the Peugeot 308 and the new generation of the Opel Astra based on the EMP2 platform, which will appear next fall. There is therefore no longer any doubt that Fiat will replace its Tipo with a model similar to these two sedans Peugeot 308 and Opel Astra, probably in 2023.

- The future Fiat Tipo will be the brand's first car to adopt ex-PSA platform and engines, but certainly not the last. Indeed, new Fiat on the CMP platform (segment A and B) could be developed and launched before 2025.

- The Fiat range is being completely rebuilt, this having been one of the motivations for the merger of PSA and FCA , because FCA suffered from having an old and restricted range. The plans for new generations of Alfa-Romeo Giulietta and Lancia Delta are still pending, but nothing would prevent the Stellantis group from launching (at a lower cost) these sedans on the EMP2 platform in a more or less near future.

Plug-in vehicles (BEV + PHEV) sales: Top 15 by group

- Inovev has compiled the figures of the top 15 leading groups in the category of plug-in vehicles (BEV+PHEV) which is becoming increasingly important on the global market. Inovev took the year 2015 as the basis for the calculations. What do we see?

- Tesla has managed to outrun its rival groups, after the launch of the Model 3, with nearly 500,000 electric cars sold worldwide in 2020, but the Volkswagen group has achieved a spectacular breakthrough in two years, thanks to its ID3 models and ID4. Battery electric and plug-in hybrid engines are becoming widespread among all brands of the German group and across all ranges, so that 420,000 of these vehicles were sold in 2020 by the Volkswagen group. In third position but detached (230,000 sales), the Renault-Nissan group has not consolidated its leadership position in this category that it had before 2017. In fourth position, the GM group (215,000 sales) mainly benefits the success of its small electric WulingHongGuang which is sold in China. BYD is in an even more uncomfortable situation than Renault-Nissan, as this carmaker was in the top-two, and now fell to eighth place in 2020 due to competition. BMW, Hyundai-Kia and Daimler are now ahead of BYD.

- Over the first 4 months of 2021, few changes, but we note a strong dropout from Renault-Nissan which falls to ninth place, even being overtaken by the Stellantis group which is increasing the launches of BEV and PHEV.

Inovev forecasts 650,000 units per year of the new Honda Civic

- Honda decided to replace in 2021 its C-segment sedan, the Civic, after only five years of marketing, as it had been launched in September 2016. The Japanese carmaker is used to a fast replacement of its models, in particular the Civic which is in its eleventh generation since 1972, which makes a renewal every four and a half years.

- This model traditionally has an international vocation as it is marketed as well in Japan as in China, in Europe or in the United States, and it will be for the first time only available in full hybrid version (HEV), like the Jazz, CRV and HRV.

- Like all the other carmakers, Honda intends to electrify its entire range of vehicles, but this electrification goes for the Japanese carmaker through the “mild hybrid” and the “full hybrid” but not yet by the “Plug-In hybrid” (PHEV) and very little by the battery electric as only one Honda model is now available with this technology (Honda E).

- The new Honda Civic will be marketed worldwide from September 2021, and it will be the first to no longer be produced in Europe since the Swindon plant that produced it for European demand closed in July 2021. The Honda Civic sold in Europe will therefore be imported from a non-European plant. Inovev forecasts a production volume of 650,000 units per year of the new Honda Civic (compared to 620,000 in 2020) which will continue to be produced in China, Canada, the USA and Brazil.
